    As we've already touched on, five former Football Association bosses have said the body is outdated, held back by "elderly white men" and unable to counter the power of the Premier League.

    In a letter to the Culture, Media and Sport select committee, David Bernstein, David Davies, Greg Dyke, Alex Horne and David Triesman referred to "the woeful lack of English players or managers and the embarrassing failures of our national team for the past 50 years".

    While arguments rage about the structure of football in this country, we want your thoughts on the best and worst things about British football.

    Goals by Dimitri Payet and Michail Antonio exposed Liverpool's defensive frailties again as West Ham climbed out of the Premier League relegation zone with a hard-fought 2-2 draw at Anfield.

    After conceding four in last weekend's loss at Bournemouth, Liverpool shipped two avoidable first-half goals on their way to ceding more ground to Chelsea and Arsenal in the title race.

    There were goalkeeping errors on both sides as Adam Lallana and Divock Origi scored for the hosts.

    Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has laughed off suggestions his side could face a Premier League points deduction.

    The Blues and Manchester City have been charged with failing to control their players during their 3 December game.

    After previous incidents, a Football Association appeal board warned Chelsea in July that "the time cannot be too far distant when... the only proper sanction is a points deduction".

    Asked about the possibility after his side's 1-0 win over West Brom, Conte said: "Are you joking? Are you joking?"

    Chelsea have been fined five times by the FA for failing to control their players since February 2015, as you can see below...

    It was 3-0 within 20 minutes as Vardy added another after skipping past visiting keeper Claudio Bravo, and he completed his hat-trick by intercepting a misplaced John Stones pass and finishing from a narrow angle.

    Aleksandar Kolarov, with a free-kick, and Nolito scored late consolation goals for the away side.

    The Tigers went ahead through Robert Snodgrass' controversial penalty before Christian Benteke equalised with another spot-kick.

    Wilfried Zaha blasted the Eagles ahead, but Hull benefited from poor Palace defending as Adama Diomande and Jake Livermore scored twice in a six-minute period to put the hosts back in front.

    David Bernstein, David Davies, Greg Dyke, Alex Horne and David Triesman say the FA has failed to "self-reform".

    The five have asked Parliament's Culture, Media and Sport committee to propose legislation to reform the FA.
